GRODS GONE

In a Spin Starts Here moment Scott Bridges has shut down GrodsCorp and deleted -- some would say flushed -- its entire archive. In a eulogy of sorts Chuck A. Spear laments the passing of a left-wing institution, hinting that GrodsCorp succumbed to unspecified right-wing pressure -- Bridges says he shut down the site owing to travel commitments, in 2010. No mention of the purged archive, however. Regardless, I'm confident Jeremy and Keri can step up to fill the humour void.

Yeah, angry young men, what did they ever achieve? Look at Jesus, young, angry, non-event, no lasting impact on history or humanity. If only he'd placid, relaxed and comfortable he might have really had an impact and changed the world.
